At arrival in the reserve we were welcomed by an elephant and back home we immediately noticed how quiet it was. After the noise in the busy Netherlands especially Corné enjoyed this very much.
Although I'm also happy to be back home I miss having my family around and I realize I really enjoyed being able to go for a walk. Just walking to the store for a little shopping was really nice. Here everything is too far away and you can't go for a relaxed stroll because of the animals. The upside is that we have much more peace and quiet, space and freedom and that you can see an elephant appearing in your backyard.
The first few days we had time to unpack and relax a little before our first guests arrived. Now we are used to the bush rhythm again and the kids have started school again. We enjoy the lovely winter weather and all flowers that were just starting to come out when we left are now in full bloom.
We already saw impala's, duiker, water buck and giraffes from our lodge and kudu's on our way to school. Our guests saw 4 of the big 5 on their game drive and the day after they saw wild dogs on their bush walk.
Plenty of things to enjoy!
Regards from the bush,
Miriam
